Lady Gaga: Meat Dress

Lady Gaga Meat Dress: American pop singer Lady
Gaga wore a dress made of raw beef, which was commonly referred to by the media
as the meat dress,[1][2][3] to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. Designed by
Franc Fernandez and styled by Nicola Formichetti, the dress was condemned by
animal rights groups and named by Time as the top fashion statement of 2010.
The press speculated on the originality of the meat dress idea, with
comparisons made to similar images found in contemporary art and popular
culture. As with her other dresses, it was archived, but went on display in
2011 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame after being preserved by taxidermists as
a type of jerky. Gaga explained following the awards ceremony that the dress
was a statement about one's need to fight for what one believes in, and
highlighted her distaste for the US military's don't-ask-don't-tell policy. -Wikipedia
